tape drives

[Alex Snow]

yYeah I read the ftape-howto but nothing useful in there. I loaded the 
module but nothing wants to access my tape drive. I think maybe it's 
not set in bios correctly or something.
and for some weird reason the latest ftape source wont compile.
the errors it gives were
 
ftape_syms.c:117:24: warning: pasting "(" and "ftape_trace_log" does 
not give a
valid preprocessing token
ftape_syms.c:118:23: warning: pasting "(" and "ftape_tracings" does 
not give a valid preprocessing token
ftape_syms.c:119:35: warning: pasting "(" and 
"ftape_function_nest_levels" does
not give a valid preprocessing token

Always borrow money from a pessimist; he doesn't expect to be paid
back.
